Chapter 290: Battle with the Second Great Uncle of the Zheng Family
Chapter 290: Battle with the Second Great Uncle of the Zheng Family
Accompanied by three people, Xu Wanyun led a distracted Ah Qing back to the courtyard.
At this moment, several elderly people who were nearing their end slowly walked over from a distance.
At the forefront was the Second Great Uncle of the Zheng family from a few days ago.
"Friend Shen, please don't take offense. It must be that our hospitality in the Zheng family was lacking, which angered Madame Shen."
The Second Great Uncle's smile was gentle, but on his withered face, it somehow seemed a bit disturbing.
"Prepare a banquet," he ordered.
He walked into the courtyard and sat down opposite Shen Yi. "Let this old man express his apologies."
In addition to the Second Great Uncle, under the pretext of sending Xu Wanyun back, seven or eight figures gathered outside the courtyard, their bodies faintly exuding extraordinary auras.
"...”
Shen Yi remained silent, his gaze fixed on the "Madame" in the distance, his expression growing calmer.
Xu Wanyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes finally regained their sparkle, followed by a hint of bewilderment as she looked around.
As she gradually regained her senses, a strand of murderous intent rose in her pitch-black eyes.
As an Ultimate Realm Mixed Elementalist, no matter how inexperienced she was, she could tell that she had been set up.
She tightly gripped Ah Qing's delicate hand until the latter almost cried out in pain.
Only then did she temporarily suppress the turmoil of her emotions.
Without a word, she returned to Shen Yi's side and sat down, each of them guarding one side at just the right angle.
This obvious display of caution, however, did not move the Zheng family members. They acted as if they hadn't noticed Xu Wanyun's underlying meaning, still wearing their polite smiles.
Soon, some Zheng family disciples arrived carrying delicacies that had already been prepared.
They respectfully poured out several cups of spirit tea.
The Second Great Uncle of the Zheng family casually distributed the tea cups to the others, not paying attention to Xu Wanyun and Ah Qing this time. His cloudy eyes were fixed on Shen Yi.
He picked up his tea cup and said, "I, an old man, have abstained from alcohol for many years. Today, I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to Friend Shen."
After speaking, the old man drained his cup.
He then put down the tea cup and looked at the one in front of Shen Yi.
For an Ultimate Realm Mixed Elementalist to proactively apologize to a Mid Realm Mixed Elementalist, no matter where this was, it would be enough to surprise the other party.
However, Shen Yi pondered for a moment and then indifferently returned his gaze.
Seeing this, the few people outside the courtyard slowly took three or four steps forward. Although they didn't speak, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Friend Shen, what does this mean?"
The Second Great Uncle of the Zheng family was unhurried and unflustered. He glanced sideways and smiled, "Doesn't this old man even have this little face?"
In his tone, he conveyed that he had the situation completely under control.
Hearing this, Xu Wanyun realized where her strange feeling from earlier had come from.
She stared fixedly at the cup of spirit tea, her hand quietly resting on the hilt of her sword.
There was only one Ultimate Realm cultivator in front of her, and although the others were Mixed Elementalists, their cultivation levels weren't too high, at least not beyond what the Zheng family should ostensibly possess.
If it was just her trying to break through, she thought she wouldn't have a problem.
But if she had to protect Ah Qing and this young man as well, it would be a bit difficult.
That momentary lapse in awareness also made her extremely cautious, and she quietly stabilized her mind to avoid falling for another trick.
Fortunately, Shen Yi seemed quite experienced and might be able to come up with another solution to calm these old dogs.
"Little face?"
Under everyone's gaze, Shen Yi finally stood up.
He reached out and picked up the cup of spirit tea.
Looking at the emerald green tea, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Seeing this, the Zheng family members also smiled.
Based on the earlier test, that woman had already been disabled by half.
With only a mere Mid Realm Mixed Elementalist left, there was no need to bother with pretenses anymore.
The opponent could only choose between drinking the tea and perishing.
A dense, killing intent instantly enveloped the entire courtyard.
With a thunderous kick, the young man's boots reduced the stone table to rubble, and in the blink of an eye, his foot viciously hooked under the old man's jaw.
Boom!
The Second Great Uncle's body, clad in ink-green robes, suddenly swelled up, and then his entire figure was sent flying into the air.
With just one kick, his skin was covered in fine cracks.
Then, like a dried-up lump, his skin began to crack and peel off in large flakes.
"Roar!"
Beneath the old man's skin was not a Dao Infant, but rather, gnarled and twisted tree vines, covered in moss.
He looked incredibly bizarre, with surprise and fury swirling in his eyes.
It seemed he never expected the young man to dare to make such a bold move.
What surprised the Second Great Uncle even more was that the young man's casual kick had completely destroyed the physical body he used for disguise.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Ah Qing was so startled that she froze on the spot.
Xu Wanyun, however, kept her wits about her, but she, too, had not anticipated Shen Yi's decisive action.
She drew her sword swiftly, her eyes fixed on the elderly man in the air.
While Xu Wanyun and Ah Qing regarded the old man as if he were a monster, the other Zheng family experts were staring at Shen Yi with equally astonished gazes.
They knew better than anyone that after receiving the boost from the Age Wood, their strength had far surpassed that of their peers.
Yet, Shen Yi's kick had shattered that illusion.
Was this the strength of a Mid Realm Mixed Elementalist?
The next moment, accompanied by soaring demonic energy, the youth in ink-colored robes soared into the sky. Violet-golden flames surged from his body, tinting the clouds and mist with a faint purple hue.
His fair face remained devoid of any emotion.
However, it sent a chill down the Second Great Uncle's spine, and indeed, the ink-colored figure seemed to multiply in size in his vision, as a fierce punch, imbued with violet-golden fire, viciously slammed down on his head.
That previous kick was no accident...
As he felt the overwhelming power bearing down on him, the Second Great Uncle let out another inhuman roar.
Two thick vine-like arms swiftly intercepted the punch.
Despite being an Ultimate Realm Mixed Elementalist, he did not use any techniques, nor did he exude the aura of a Dao Infant.
But that did not mean he had grown weaker.
On the contrary, after connecting with the Age Wood, his mere physical body, made of gnarled wood, was enough to crush everything!
Crack!
The thick vine-like arms were directly smashed to pieces by the punch.
The violet-golden flames, like a virulent disease, rapidly crawled up his body.
The Second Great Uncle fell toward the ground in a daze.
How could this be...
How could there be a Mixed Elementalist in the realm of the Nascent Soul, whose physical strength surpassed his own, even with the boost from the Age Wood?
Shen Yi glanced calmly at the sky.
On the night when Xu Wanyun intended to leave, he had already instructed Qinghua to return as quickly as possible, no matter the cost.
He had anticipated that this matter might lead to some unforeseen events.
Now, without the Golden Body by his side, Shen Yi looked down at the falling figure, clenching his fists tightly. It had been a long time since he had experienced such a stimulating battle.
This familiar feeling...
He vanished from his spot and reappeared below the old man.
His palm brushed against his waist, and a three-foot-long dagger appeared in his hand.
A sinister expression crossed the young man's handsome face.
Like a woodsman chopping wood, he brutally swung the dagger at the old man's waist!
